Let’s walk through the process together. Even if you don’t cook often, this recipe is very forgiving and simple to follow.
Step 1: Brown the Beef
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it’s browned and crumbly. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened. Drain any excess grease.
Step 2: Add Flavor
Stir in the green chilies, enchilada sauce, and cream cheese. Let everything simmer for a few minutes until well combined. This step infuses the meat with creamy, zesty flavor that makes the casserole irresistible.
Step 3: Assemble the Layers
In a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, layer the ingredients in this order:
- A generous layer of Fritos corn chips.
- The seasoned meat mixture.
- A blanket of shredded cheese.
Step 4: Bake
Place the casserole in a preheated oven at 350°F. Bake for 15–20 minutes, until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden at the edges.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Scoop out servings and top each plate with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, salsa, and sour cream. For extra flair, add sliced jalapeños, black olives, or guacamole.
